The data for this study were generated during the COVID-19 pandemic so inevitably participants discussed how their experience of the pandemic impacted on their well-being, which does offer relevant learning for future management of well-being.

What is known about the topic Paediatric critical care (PCC) is a high-pressure working environment.
